Re: If you had to choose...what would you go with?
PIAAs are my choice. I seen the Hiros and PIAAs in person. I give it to the PIAAs, they look more aggressive and nicely refined.

Flex, how's the ride with the PIAA's and the S-Tech's? How much did you lower it, front/rear

i am biased, since leaving axis they (the company) have nothing but love for me, thats why i am loyal to them. great quality wheels and great prices.

Man those PIAA wheels in gun metal look really nice. Only if they came in 20in.

Re: If you had to choose...what would you go with?
the s-techs aren't adjustable so the drop is ~1" all around. i had them installed prior to the piaas. they actually rode somewhat better than the stockers. the low profile tires on the aftermarket wheels take that feeling away, but it's not that bad. good choice on the rims, although i wanted you to get the hiros [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: If you had to choose...what would you go with?
exactly! jk. well, to answer your question in the other thread the rears are 4.5" and fronts are 3" (attempting to look straight down at the lip edge). they look deeper because the lip curves out instead of coming to an abrupt angle.

Go with whichever is lighter and easier to clean. The Hiros definitely look easier to clean. What's the weight?

i have the 19 inch PIAA's, the reason I like them is due to the lips. My rears have about a 5 to 6 inch lip, while the front has about a 4 inch lip.

Those Hiro's look exactly like Volks or Nismo Wheels. I would say stick with the PIAA's since they are more unique.
